Understanding cybersecurity principles and practices is vital to all users of IT systems and services, and is particularly relevant in an organizational setting where the lack of security awareness and compliance amongst staff is the root cause of many incidents and breaches. If these are to be addressed, there needs to be adequate support and provision for related training and education in order to ensure that staff know what is expected of them and have the necessary skills to follow through.

Human error is the cause of over 95% of data breaches and the weakest aspect of cybersecurity in nearly all organizations. These errors guarantee that hackers can easily gain access to almost any network in the world and take complete control of systems, data, and more. This book outlines the top mistakes organizations make in security awareness and why most companies are failing to properly prepare their users for cyber-attacks. Each point is accompanied by actionable data derived from real-world training program successes and failures.

Cybersecurity Education for Awareness and Compliance explores frameworks and models for teaching cybersecurity literacy in order to deliver effective training and compliance to organizational staff so that they have a clear understanding of what security education is, the elements required to achieve it, and the means by which to link it to the wider goal of good security behavior. Split across four thematic sections (considering the needs of users, organizations, academia, and the profession, respectively), the chapters will collectively identify and address the multiple perspectives from which action is required. This book is ideally designed for IT consultants and specialist staff including chief information security officers, managers, trainers, and organizations.
